Captain Pauldrons - Light Kit

The Captain Pauldrons - Light Kit, a faithful Polyurea (PU) reproduction of our mild steel Captain Pauldrons, built for fighters and crews wanting and imposing look, without the imposing weight, of steel armor.

The construction follows authentic plate logic: a domed upper cop riveted to a flared collar plate, with articulated lower lames overlapping down the upper arm. The rivet pattern and lame lines mirror the steel original, finished in a matte blackened look. Because it is molded rather than forged, the weight drops dramatically, making it ideal for long event days, junior fighters, and performers who want the steel silhouette without the strain.

Fit, adjustment & care

The strap system handles most sizing on its own, but for a closer fit, you can gently reshape the material itself using heat. Apply heat to the inside of the piece rather than the painted exterior, so the material becomes flexible without damaging the finish.

• Finish: The base material underneath the painted surface is black, so over time, scratches and general wear may reveal this black color underneath.

• Easy touch-ups: Minor cosmetic damage, such as scuffs or scratches can be simply repaired at home using a primer and acrylic hobby paints (such as Army Painter or Citadel).

• Leather care: The leather straps should be maintained like any other full-grain leather product, with occasional conditioning to keep them supple and long-lasting.

• A living finish: Wear and patina are a natural part of your armor's lifecycle and can be expected with regular use, adding to the authentic, battle-worn character of the piece.
